The mechanic pouted, "Ah, but it's fun to see your children at work! They grow up so fast." She tossed her head back with a laugh and continued down towards the sky tower. "If you don't go out much, that must mean you're boring, right?"
~~
The soul bender shook his head, "That's when you have two normal mechanics together. Jo isn't normal. She's apparently the odd one out from what I've heard. . . . And experienced." He looked back at Allan, "Jo likes to yank people around and drive them up the wall when chance presents itself. I guess you could say that she's pretty much a trolling mechanic."

Aittus smiled, "I'm usually too busy tipping back the good ones." He said jokingly, "My kids are a-okay by themselves...Like my old man once said," he paused showing a rather serious face, "Ai! You want to grow and be strong? Then stop watching the blades of grass grow and wait til' you can cut it down!" He smiled and looked over at her, "So no, not boring. Just patient. Once my babies come back, I can run test to make them stronger. I still do my fair share of work, but I just take out what needs to be. Now-a-days though, I can't exactly do that since you have to keep pushing. I've gotten out of the habit of just sitting back."
~+~
He scratched his head, "I see. So that's why. She seems pretty nice though." He paused and smiled shortly after, "He might be doing it to be a hot shot. I mean, she is pretty good looking..." He paused and shook his head, "Let's get into the bar. I have a bad feeling that the Berserker is going to be coming back our way again soon."

((Everytime I get a chance to post, I run out of time. Here's to hoping that I don't.))
"That is not fair, you get to sit back and relax like a spitfire while the rest of us have to haul a**? You b*****d, I'll make sure to grind you into the ground," the mechanic said with some contempt. "Ok, I have to think like my big brother. This should be fun!" She giggled at the thought. "Think like a mechanic, work like a launcher. How's that for conflict?" The red head started to sway with her hands on her cheeks and a plotting grin on her face. The woman was getting way too excited for the supposed plans ahead. Her burning bright hair followed the quick movements of her head. "Ooooh, so much fun!"
"Right," The soul bender was about to turn back towards the bar when a thought came to him. It wasn't really a good thought at first pass but he went over it in his head slowly. True, more gunners would mean more safety for Allan but what were the chances of friendly fire when drunken gunners were involved? Not that he doubted the empryeans' ability to hold their liquor, it was just the fact that he wasn't so comfortable in being in a bar full of armed drunks attacking a slayer. . . Which there would have been a slight chance that the slayer would be him instead of the zerker.
The other idea? Let Allan loose with the two mechanics. At least he knew the red head well enough to warn the poor guy ahead of time. He looked to the gunner, "I think I have a better idea. Why don't you go with Jo and her admirer? A mechanic can hold their own rather well. Having two of them around, I think you might have a better shot at having a decent defense from that zerker. Plus, I know Jo and her brother well enough to know that they won't turn around and shoot you in the back while you're not looking. The decision is up to you though, I'll go either way."

The gunner took note into what the slayer was saying. He paused to think about it when he noticed the rather heavy feeling in the air as he looked over his shoulder, noting the scary looking figure coming up close. He twitched and looked back to the slayer, "You know, that sounds like a great plan! Besides, we have a bit of a situation behind us." He looked over his shoulder again to make a point of seeing the dark figure with dark eyes. "Uh, Excuse me!" Alian began to run over toward the group quickly.
~+~
"Eh?" Aittus looked surprised slightly. This girl was rather excited. It was true, he acted like something he wasn't, but he supposed it wasn't all that bad. He scratched his head and sighed as he laughed only slightly, "Alright, lets do it." Then he heard the sound of someone calling out to him. He looked over his shoulder slightly, "Look at that. Another gunner and a Slayer...hmm..."

Seifert followed suit after the gunner, "Yo! Jo! We have a bit of a situation here!" He waved at the female mechanic in a half flail. "It involves a stalking zerker!"
The red head only raised her brow, "Stalking. . . Zerker? I don't think Kathel would do that, would he?"
"Not Kathel, he's all the way in Hendon Myre anyways. The zerker that's causing the issue is hounding this poor guy," The slayer nodded over to Allan. "So, Jo, who this guy? Another poor unsuspecting victim that got lured into your death trap?" He looked over to the other mechanic.
She could only laugh, "Seif, he's just tagging along with me for an errand run. He's from the royal guard like I am. . . Though, different units." The mechanic held out her hand towards Allan with a friendly smile, "I guess it's about time I introduced myself to my fellow empyreans. As Seifert here already spouted out in part, I'm Jocasta. Nice to meet you."

He shook her hand, "Alian, nice to meet you. I appreciate the help, really. This Berserker has been following me since I got here. Been nothing but a huge inconvenience since. Um, what about you?" He looked over at the 'unsuspecting victim'.
"Aittus, but my friends call me Ai. Nice to meet you too. Alian." He smiled as he shook his hand as well.
Alian tensed as he looked over his shoulder, "Um...okay, that 'zerker is getting wayyy too close...Um, no mean to rush, but can we go?"
"...Sounds like a plan..." Aittus frowned as he turned around.

"Of course," Jocasta nodded as she motioned for the men to head towards the Sky Tower once again. "Seif, we're heading for the golem tower. I need to grab some materials from there."
"Big golems should be more than enough to stall a zerker. Granted that he's not a hellbenter yet," the slayer commented as he followed after the mechanic.

Aittus cringed a bit, thinking of the Golem tower. He hadn't been there yet, but listening to some of the other, more experienced Empyrean people, he had a bad feeling, "Alright. Lets do it then, yeah?" He smiled slightly. Seemingly excited, thought somewhere in the pit of his stomach, he thought he was dead.
Alian scratched his head and then gave a nod, "Alright, lets do it.There is nothing one can't do without trying." He loaded his crossbow quietly and looked at the two mechanics and the Slayer.

((TIME WARP TO ZEH TOWER))
"Crona! Transform!" Jocasta yelled as she opened fire on the clay golems with her gattling gun. The combination usually worked out rather well for her in most cases. Though she wasn't paying much attention to the men in the group. Regardless, she knew well enough that the slayer can handle himself. From the gunshots and explosions from out of her view, the other empyreans were doing just fine.
A mountainous wheel, sliding slashes and some uppercuts, Seifert was doing a fine job rounding the monsters up into one little group. Well, the ones that were still alive from the rush tactic he was using anyways.

Aittus wasn't doing too bad actually, he sent a few landrunners here, got out of the way there. Hell this was turning out to be a challenge...but a fun one! "You alright back there kid?"
The younger, seemingly more accident prone Empyrean stumbled back from a rush and fired quickly hitting the golem in between the eyes. He watched it crumble and he smiled, "Yeah, I'm fine" He waved and charged into battle again.
~+~
Verla seemed to feel a little better, but she stayed down. She would hope that the mysterious guy...Ibsen would come to visit her while she was there. She sat up, looking out the window, her long, black hair framing her face and pooling on the bed. She closed her eyes as a cool breeze hit her cheeks. She remembered these airs when she would be carried back into her district by the SIC after a rough mission...She smiled a little...hoping that she could get back to them...

"Gentlemen, if you're screwing each other around back there. . . At least make it sound good!" Jocasta called back as she sent in her barrage of semi-strategic land runners. She threw a grenade over at a few puppeteers before sending bullet hell after them.
"Jo. . . Why the hell are you talking about this now?!" Seifert asked as he sliced through another golem. "For one run. . Just one run . . Leave your mind out of the gutter!"
~~
It wasn't much of a calling to say, but a coincidence that the ranger was heading to West Coast. He was reading a piece of paper, a to do list from everyone else in Hendon Myre. As much as he hated being the errand boy, he needed the money. Bullets and repair didn't exactly come free. . . Or cheap. Especially with Kiri's machine that had a tendency to eat everything that people tried to throw in for upgrades.
Regardless of his opinion, he just hoped that he would be done with this town and get back to working on way back up to Empyrean.

"Hey, c'mon!" Aittus seemed a bit offended about the comment as he jumped out of the way of a golem trying to flat line him, "I'm workin' on making these bastards crumble!"
"A little rowdy aren't we?" Alian smiled as he fired off his Gatling gun at a set of golems.
"Strong kid, aren't we?"
"Haha! I'm full of surprises!"
~+~
She sighed as she went to the window and looked out the skies of Hendon Myre were nice...though she still wished to be back home. She sighed and looked down...it was going to be a long time before she could do that...but it was better than just praying to go home and wind up back there. She had to train, but her body was still weak...go figure...

"That's better, keep it going~" Jocasta chimed as she continued her assault on the monsters. "More dead golems the better, I want their tech to play with."
"Those controller things? You didn't keep one for yourself?" Seifert asked.
"I kinda forgot to stash some for myself. . ."
~~
Well, if it wasn't one thing, it was another. First he was sent to West coast and now he's stuck running around like a gopher. Ibsen cursed his luck. On the bright side, there was an Empyrean Ferry in town. However, as always, there was a catch and he didn't make the cut. At least not right at moment. For now, he would have to bite the bullet and just get on with it. . . And hope he wouldn't run into his older sibling while he's at it.

Aittus laughed and dodged another devastating attack that could have killed him. He held his shoulder from a graze that he'd taken from one of the puppet master's attacks. "Ow..." He looked at his wound and shook it off as he drew his crossbow again.
You alright Aittus?" The blond looked a little worried.
"Yeah, it's just a scratch. Nothing too serious." He fired at the master again taking him out quickly. "Alright!"
"Nice shot"
"Thanks."
"Hmm?" He looked over his shoulder, a strange feeling over coming him. "Let's finish this up soon" He looked a little more pale than before, "I think he's catching up a little finally."
~+~
Verla wrapped a blanket around herself and stepped outside to take a look at the sky, but ran into the familiar ranger instead, "Oh, I'm sorry..." She shuffled a little, embarrassed. As she looked up she was surprised to see him again, "Oh...It's you."

Seifert looked back at Alian, "That fast? s**t. . . ."
"That zerker you were getting nervous about? I'd be a little more surprised if what was between us and him were expellers from the next area up." Jocasta shrugged. She was being rather casual about it as she blew away puppeteers with her bots. The mechanic looked at Alian, "Just how strong is this guy anyways?"
~~
"Fancy seeing you here, Verla." Ibsen said as he rebalanced himself from the sudden run in. He raised an eyebrow at her, "You doing okay?"
